Governance and risk integrity assessment

The key thing that the industry guest talked was about governance and risk, integrity, cyber risk management to protect the reputation and enhance credibility, he asked “who owns the data”, capability scores of data management and his 3 key points were:
Reputation is king
It is all about people
Technology is an enabler

Take Away #1: Reputation is king
I have always acted according to the principle that I would rather lose money than trust. The integrity of my promises the belief in the value of my products and in my word of honour [SIC]
Take Away #2: It is all about people:
Leadership is all about people, it is not about organisations it is not about plans, whoops missed the rest of it
Something about you gets to a certain age and realise that the biggest asset each organisation has is its people
Take Away #3: Technology is an enabler:
